Google has become so evil, their whitewash attempts are a sad joke.
bigend··on Can Uber ever make money?
Is Uber yet selling the information on who took a ride, when, from where and to where? I expect them to monetize that. Privacy? Is that something edible?
bigend··on Tracking my phone's silent connections
Same happens on your laptop. I like MacOS app called LittleSnitch, reveals pretty much the same types of sites as in the article.
bigend··on Google .dev domain early access
There are quite a few Russian lastnames that end ”dev”, like Medvedev. I think there is going to be quite a rush for these.
